GivePulse vs Sela | Local College Help

GivePulse is the community engagement platform analyzing collective impact for cities, universities, schools, businesses, groups and individuals. We bring people together to volunteer and address issues and gaps in the community. At the same time, we power the backend and logistical requirements for community movements and initiatives. GivePulse can be used by any volunteer, student, organizer, manager or coordinator to search, register, and track their activity in the community. It is currently only in select cities. Please contact us if you want a formal launch in your city. Join GivePulse!

Sela connects you with college students nearby who can help with the things on your list. Yard work. Moving day. Cleaning before company comes. Leaves piling up. Hauling something out to the curb. The jobs that are too small to call a company about and too annoying to keep putting off. HOW IT WORKS Post what you need. It takes about a minute. Say what the job is, where it is, when you need it, and what you are paying. Students nearby see your job, and one of them claims it. Once a student has claimed it, you will see their name, their school and their reviews, and you can message them before they start. The pay is agreed when you post, so there is nothing to negotiate at the door. WHO SHOWS UP Everyone who wants to work through Sela applies with their school, and we review every application by hand. No one gets on the platform automatically, and we remove helpers who do not meet the bar. After every job both sides leave a review, and those reviews follow the student. The people doing good work are easy to find. WHY STUDENTS They live close by. They have gaps in their schedule that happen to line up with when you need help. And the money goes to someone working their way through school in your own town instead of to a call center. WHAT IT COSTS Posting a job is free, and you set the price you are willing to pay. Jobs paid by card include a small card processing fee, shown before you post. Need It Now puts a same-day job at the top of every nearby student's list, free once a month. Sela is starting in Birmingham. Terms of Use (EULA): https://pushsela.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://pushsela.com/privacy
